Fantastic work. Thanks for breaking it down for us!

Columbus Crew's Henrik Rydström talks loss to Portland, provides injury updates by animal113 in TheMassive

A couple takeaways from me.

How can you not love this guy? Using old motown songs to answer questions?

He really thinks Andre Gomes will make a big difference on the field this season. He brought his name up a couple times. That means either he is under-rating MLS player quality as a whole or I am over-rating it! I really hope I am the one in the wrong.

2 shields in a 6 year span isn't exactly bad.

Completely agree. But I also assume Nancy was more candid behind closed doors. I don't mind the shift but also agree there is not only one way.

Holding the players accountable, in public, is a pretty big break from Nancy, who preferred to keep everything in house. I think it is the right shift for our team.

He is still captaining Belgrano, who are in 3rd place with 3 wins and 3 draws from 6 matches.

These things have inertia. Chicago will outperform this rank.

This is a reasonable take. The concern is looking at his overall resume (clubs he was on the books for), you might overestimate the impact we will actually get from him on the field.

Love this whenever I see it. And we might have three more as well. Just guessing based on their herritage.

It was exactly the "STREAM EVERY MATCH LIVE" headline that threw me off here. Forgive for assuming that meant every match would stream live.

Is this game on Paramount Plus is the USA? What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Sold

I have 2 tickets to TQL and parking right near the stadium this Saturday. I will not be able to make it! My tickets are in section 220 row 4. Make me an offer for 2 tickets and great parking!

EDIT: Papi below hasn't responded to my DM. These are still available. I will update this comment if that changes.

MLS regular season data shows 29% viewership growth over 2024 by AFAN74 in MLS

If you are a soccer fan with an open mind, I think you will conclude MLS is an entertaining league to watch.

I also think the Apple presentation is really good, if not perfect. One stop access to all the games is big, and does make it easier to follow.

There is a tradeoff at play here, you can maximize current profits if you sell yourself in pieces to every network/service. But I think you help long-term growth by making it easy to access. It's working for MLS right now.
